Your resources use Model Events because Nova is using Eloquent.
So assuming you're managing a status with a select:
<?php
namespace App\Nova;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Select;
class Post
{
public function fields()
{
return [
...
Select::make('Status')->options([
'approved' => 'Approved',
'rejected' => 'Rejected',
'revising' => 'Revising',
]);
];
}
}
You would then listen to a post's status upon saving by listening for that event:
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function boot()
{
Post::observe(PostObserver::class);
}
}
<?php
namespace App\Observers;
class PostObserver
{
public function saving($post)
{
if($post->status == 'approved') {
//
}
}
}
It is worth noting, saving() catches the post before it is saved()
You can hook onto these statuses within the Observer and perform more behavior.
So if you wanted to create an additional model when status changes:
<?php
namespace App\Observers;
class PostObserver
{
public function saving($post)
{
if($post->isDirty('status'))
{
Approval::create([
'post_id' => $post->id,
'user_id' => auth()->id(),
'status' => $post->status,
]);
}
}
}
Or any task related to the status change, for example sending mail:
<?php
namespace App\Observers;
class PostObserver
{
public function saving($post)
{
if($post->isDirty('status') && $post->status == 'rejected')
{
Mail::to($post->author)->send(new PostRejected($post));
}
}
}
Although, if you have an Approval model.. I'd say put that in the ApprovalObserver in created
